History of the East Republic Company
Shortly after the Coruscantis have discovered the planet of Mobius, they sent in probes to conduct recon work on the planet itself to ensure that it was unoccupied before colonizing the planet. The Republic of Coruscant cautiously watched from a distance that the probes report back that there were many sentient entities that have established themselves on the planet.
Due to the Republic's cautious nature after their experiences on Earth. Established the East Republic Company to be self-sufficient of itself and not rely on the bureaucracy in New Port City while at the same time ensure the government is not involved in Mobian affairs. Chancellor Hanna appointed her grand-daughter, Nozomi Valentine, to be the Legate of the East Republic Company.
The space fleet only consisted of one
Ragnarok class Super Battleship, two
Venator class Star Destroyers, and several transports and colonial ships. While the
Rikke has the capability to level several provinces with her gauss canons pointed at the planet. The Grand Admiral stated to the Legate that the use of a planetary bombardment would not happen until there is a completion of a nuclear missile silo and sufficient investments has been made.
Much like the Company's parent, it's a largely an industrial power built upon machinery and the power of the atom. The robotics of the East Republic Company are largely utilized in manufacturing under their human supervisors and programers for larger projects. After learning of the history of Mobius of the atrocities of the Robotnik Empire, the Legate has made it clear that the armed forces and the labor of the Company will only use robots that are built and programed with their own hands, not Roboticised from organic beings.
The Company's government operates as a Military Junta under the leadership of the Legate appointed by the Chancellor of the Republic of Coruscant. The Legate is responsible for the affairs, both domestically and foreign, of the East Republic Company on Mobius and has the freedom to enter into diplomatic negotiations without having the Republic involved. Their capital based on Mobius is named after the old Prussian Capital on Earth and serves as a base of operations and administration for Legate Nozomi. The Headquarters based in New Port City, Earth largely holds corporate functions of the East Republic Company.
The Economy of the Company is based on Mercantilism with the legate conducting trade with other entities on Mobius and other Mobians. The only non-Mobius trade the company has is with it's parent nation, the Republic of Coruscant. The currency of the Company utilize the Republic Marks as well as the generic Gold based currency found on Mobius.
The culture of the East Republic Company is a mix of Roman, German, and Japanese cultures. There is no established state religion as the Legate ensures that the colony has freedom of religion. Roman Catholicism is the de facto state religion due to the Legate's beliefs. Many colonists speak English, Huttese, German, and Japanese. In offical settings, English is the lingua franca for the company in official operations between the East Republic Company and non-native speakers of English. Though there is an exception if an East Republic Company personnel is meeting with someone who knows German and/or Japanese, Huttese.
Humans make up the majority of the colonists on Mobius. Their attitudes to the native population range from indifferent to acceptance depending on the colonist's planet of origin. The colonists who are more accepting of the Mobians tend to be individuals who hail from planets with a significant non-human population (Wookies, Rodians, etc). The Legate as been in the process of recruiting non-human sentient species to import to the colony to better facilitate diplomatic affairs between the furry population of Mobius and Humans of the East Republic Company.
